Why Is This Important?

Because this is a lesson for everyone to not take pics in the showers.

Long Story Short

Playboy model Dani Mathers is facing six months in jail for rudely taking a picture of a 70-year-old woman who was in the shower.

Long Story

Sure, Snapchat photos delete automatically, but that doesn't mean you can post just anything. Especially if you have thousands of followers.

Playmate Dani Mathers learned that important lesson the hard way and is facing some serious consequences. In July, Mathers shared a picture of a naked woman in the showers at an L.A. Fitness. In the photo, which you can still see here, Mathers is covering her mouth as she takes a selfie with a 70-year-old woman behind her. In the caption, Mathers wrote: "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."

Mathers faced backlash on social media this summer and had her L.A. Fitness membership stripped. But now she faces more serious backlash in the courts. Mathers was charged with one count of invasion of privacy (the body shaming), which carries a sentence of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, according to The Wrap.

“Body shaming is humiliating, with often painful, long-term consequences,” said Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer in a statement. “It mocks and stigmatizes its victims, tearing down self-respect and perpetuating the harmful idea that our unique physical appearances should be compared to air-brushed notions of ‘perfect.’ What really matters is our character and humanity. While body-shaming, in itself, is not a crime, there are circumstances in which invading one’s privacy to accomplish it can be. And we shouldn’t tolerate that.”

In a world where every second of our lives is being shared on social media, it's good to see that the courts are at least trying to uphold some decorum. Although, I'd honestly be shocked if she gets any jail time for this.

Should there be stricter and more clear laws on what you can and can't take a picture of?

Hopefully, she gets what she deserves.
